Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt-Zerbst (Japanese: キュルケ Kyuruke, Pronunciation: /kɪrke aʊgʊstə frɛdɛrika fɔn anhalt tsɛrbst/ or /kɪrxɛ aʊgʊsta frɛdɛrika fɔn anhalt tsɛrbst/) is a fire mage, as her secondary names are "Kirche the Ardent" and supposedly, after Saito wins against Guiche, "Kirche the Passion." It is often implied in the anime that she has a habit of choosing (and sleeping with) her boyfriends with a fixed schedule, however, when she meets Saito, her habit could possibly have changed because of him. Her first name means church in German.
